Great analysis!

These universities are still predominantly white according to the data provided.

"Chart 3 shows the relation between SAT scores and admission rates for Hispanics and Asians. For both schools (NC State and UVA), the patterns are more similar to the white student rates shown in Chart 2. The probability of admission for Asian students is almost identical to white rates for each SAT category, while the probabilities are somewhat higher for Hispanic students. But the differences are on the order of 10% in each category rather than the 50% advantage shown for black students at UVA.

Chart 4 shows the relation between admission and LSAT scores at W&M Law school. Black students have a substantial advantage over all other groups in the LSAT score range 153 to 162, which encompasses nearly half of all white applicants. Black applicants in this range have better than a 50% chance of admission compared to less than 10% for white students. The average LSAT score for W&M admissions is 165; the average for black admissions is 156."

Damn I'd love to get away from this racist crap. I wanted to be a Maryland State Trooper. Although I had the required high school degree at that time, they were so limited in the number of white males they could take that they only took white males with college degrees.

I also tested for the post office. There were probably 200-300 of us who tested in Baltimore that year. I was one of a handful of whites testing. Never heard from the Post Office. Every young (and thus new) worker I saw in the post offices were black.

Now, I went on and was a commissioned military officer and a lawyer. And yet I couldn't even get my foot in the door with the state police or Post Office. Everytime I see a black trooper, I wonder if they were the best qualified, or just the best qualified black. Even in law school the racism insisted on by the ABA, and gladly accepted by the law school, was outrageous. One set of rules for the white students and one for the black students.

Despite laws to the contrary, schools will always find a way to have racist policies if they so desire.

Forget the universities for a moment, If liberals love Affirmative Action so much, then why are all of the liberal talking head network newscasters White?

Further evidence of PC run amuck. My son is the owner of a small company that builds special electronics for the government. For five years he has actively recruited minorities from engineering schools. He has hired whites, Hispanics, and Asians. He said he has interviewed black Engineering grads, but has never encountered one that his truly qualified. He said it's like they handed them a degree.

He says the lowering of standards is something that has happened in past 20 years -- he has several black engineering colleagues, from his same era (class of '82 or earlier) that he would hire in a heartbeat.

Sad. I wish some of these minorities would sue the universities for not making them adhere to same standards as everyone else.

28 years ago, as part of my "working my way through college", I had a job in the U. of Illinois Law School compiling statistics on race, test scores, GPA and admissions. The same patterns seen in this 2003 study held true then. Nothing has changed. Government-sanctioned racial discrimination is alive and well.
